Russia will never take responsibility. Too many negative implications would result from a confession. My guess would be that Putin could possibly face some domestic problems with Russian voters, especially after the school shootings. The last thing he needs is publicity that he was supplying a dangerous regime with dangerous weapons. I am hopeful, however, that the Pentagon will release the satellite images of the trucks at the munitions facility. The story is quickly collapsing in on the Kerry campaign and NYT/CBS even without the satellite images. If the images are released, however, the MSM would have to display them in their coverage.

My suspicion is that if the images were to be released, today would be the day. The unraveling of the munitions story coupled with the authenticated terror threat warning immediately preceding the final weekend of news coverage could prove devastating for the Kerry campaign.

SURPRISE!!!

That was not the intent of the story for the Russians to come clean. The purpose of the Gertz story is to give an alternative as to where the explosives went. This goes back to what President said yesterday about Kerry jumping to conclusions without taking time to look over the facts. President Bush accuses Kerry of attempting political gain at the expense of our military forces. This to me is true and will stick. Monday NYT hit piece is Kerry's Waterloo.
